Park Tower at Transbay is a 43- story, 605-foot (184 m) office skyscraper in San Francisco, California. The tower is located on Block 5 of the San Francisco Transbay development plan at the corner of Beale and Howard Streets, near the Transbay Transit Center. [5] The tower contains 743,000 square feet (69,000 m2) of office space. [6] The entire office space has been leased by Facebook. [7]
Block 5, an area bounded by Howard, Main, Beale and Natoma Streets, was formerly a state-owned parcel used for ramps leading to the since-demolished Transbay Terminal and Embarcadero Freeway. The block is bisected by a driveway for the neighboring Providian Financial Building. [8] Although zoned for residential development, the San Francisco Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure issued a request for proposal for a 550-foot (170 m) tower with 700,000 square feet (65,000 m2) of office space. [9]
Four development teams submitted proposals for the site: Boston Properties with Kohn Pedersen Fox; Golub Real Estate and The John Buck Company with Goettsch Partners and Solomon Cordwell Buenz; Jay Paul Company with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill; and Kilroy Realty with Pelli Clarke Pelli. [10] The proposal from Golub Real Estate and The John Buck Company was ultimately selected, [11] featuring a number of large, outdoor terraces on both the northwest and southeast corners of the building. [5] The development group paid US$172.5 million to acquire the property in September 2015. [12] [13] Ceremonial groundbreaking took place on October 6, 2015, [4] [14] with MetLife taking a majority stake in the project, [15] reportedly worth US$345 million for a 95% ownership stake. [16] The lobby was designed by Interior Architects.
